A6559422-Iris

When stuck around home, I am not too proud to photograph flowers or whatever is around the yard. I have read on some Flickr members' profiles that they don't shoot flowers, AS IF it makes them some sort of super-duper professional photographer. Pffft!

I earn money with my photography and I still photograph flowers. Why not?!

This is the first Iris of the season, in my yard, and when I saw it, this morning under the the morning sunshine, I noticed how the yellow beard was highlighted and thought I must photograph it.

I photographed the flower with, both, my Nikon D3x, first, and then my Hasselblad 503CWD, with a Makro-Planar 120mm f/4.0 CFi lens.

This is the Hasselblad photo cropped 12 X 8 inches (landscape) format.

Colour Temperature was measured at 5,150°K and set 5,100°K, the nearest setting in the Hasselblad. The Nikon, I could set it a little closer, at 5,130°K

I used 1/500sec, as it was a little breezy.

I processed this raw photo a couple different ways, liked both, so I combined them. Then, I decided to create a monochrome version, which I liked, then decided to combine it at 60%, and it brought out detail, under-valued in just the colour versions. Then, I re-saturated the photo to achieve the same original colours . . . It just made the overall photo very subtle.
